A large number of workingmen in New York, disgusted with the sophistry and false teaching of the New York Sun, resolved to boycott it-let it alone. They certainly had cause for disgust, and right to cease buying paper they did not like to read. Besides, there is q labor paper in, New York, 7He Leador, which should have the sup port of the workingmen. There is nothing wrong in boycotting an ob- noNlouS newspaper

 In proportion to population, we believe New Haven has the honor of the largest circulation of Socialis- tic papers, and we should not be sorry if we were mistaken in our cs- timatc.

 The capitalists can only expect to to capture the Labor vote by deceiv- ing the workingmen. But they don't succeed so well of late. The working people have learned some good lessons, even though they paid dear for their education.
 One by one the poodle parties go. When we have succeeded in con verting the best men of the old par ties into Labor Party men, there will be but one little party to oppose us, and that will be composed of the worst elements in the old parties. Then we'll whip them.
 But short time ago our ultra conservative friends told us there could be but two parties in this country. Well, we are about ready to agree to that now, though it took the third party to bring us to this conclusion. Two parties-so be it. The Labor Party and the Capitalist Party. Which slde are you on?
 The Satanic press pretends to re. joicc over the "defeat" of the work ingmen in Chicago. The Labor Party elected but one man, Ed. Corners. but the labor vote was increased thirty-three per cent.

were harmonious. The committees
appointed to make preparations for
the meeting Of the largest and most
important faniiary association in ex-

every walk Of life, who are noted for
their public spirit and their unfailing
support Of all sensible sanitary
projects. They can DO trusted to
give the duties they are thus honored
with their utmost attention and to Ia.
Dor with unanimity to make the No

themselves as we'll as for the city. No
more useful society exists anywhere,
nor one that has done as much to
guard the health and save the lives OF
the people. Composed Of experts in
every department Of Sanitary Science,
they devote their time and give the
best products OF their intelligence and
learning freely and without price for
the noblest Of purposes. They take
cognzance Of water, Of food and food
products, Of soil and atmospheric con.

eases, the condition Of dwellings as

forms OF prisons, ships, steamships,
steamboats,, clothing and merchandise
as means for the transmission OF dis
eases and all forms Of prophylactics
and remedial agencies, and also 4 dis
infectants. This is wide range Of
subjects. Their proper consideration
calls for the most careful scrutiny OF
the analytical chemist, the microscop.
ist, the practical physician, the iopo-
graphical as we'll as sanitary engineer,
the practical builder and architect,
and the statistician. All these PROBES.

that ought to run on the north side Of

there are no means OF transportation
